The two of them pushed each other, but Aunt Zhang still refused to let Xin Yi touch the water.

Xin Yi felt sorry, "Auntie, you are here as a guest. This makes me so embarrassed..."

Aunt Zhang stretched her neck, glanced in the direction of the kitchen where the smell of food was smelling, and said in a lower voice: "Xinyi, if you look back and see a good young man, give my two wild girls a slap in the face... As long as she

The two of us have made a promise to a good family, and I will make cows and horses for you, auntie, both of us are willing to do so."

Xin Yi couldn't help but laugh, "Auntie said that, it's a shame. Don't worry, I will definitely respect their wishes and choose a good son-in-law for you..."

As she said that, she suddenly became serious again, "Auntie, what are my two brothers and sister-in-law doing recently?"

Aunt Zhang sighed, "When it was cold last year, your eldest and second brothers listened to your advice and went to Hongqiao to resell coal, and they made a lot of money back. But after the spring started, the business slowed down, and now it's getting colder and colder.

cross

Hot, this business is even more unsustainable, so I simply closed the shop and followed their old man back to Hongqiao to set up a stall selling rice cakes and pancakes. I could earn a few chews. Otherwise, a family with more than ten mouths would have to eat.

Woolen cloth……"

After a pause, she talked about her daughter-in-law, and her expression paled slightly.

"Your two sisters-in-law are taking care of the children at home and helping with housework... As a woman, what else can you do?"

Xin Yi was silent for a moment, "Auntie, what do you think about letting my two sisters-in-law come to work in my pharmacy?"

"What?" Aunt Zhang was so happy that she forgot to close her mouth.

Xin Yi knew that she had heard it and smiled slightly, "If it is inconvenient to take the child with you, you can also bring it here to play and study with Sannian Zhen'er."

Uncle Zhang has three granddaughters and only one grandson who is less than three years old.

Girls who do not go to school and grow up at home have no choice but to get married. Xinyi wants to give them more opportunities.

After hearing this, Aunt Zhang was so excited that her hands shook and her tears almost rolled out.

"How can this be so embarrassing? This, this...our family eats your food and drinks your food, how can we feel comfortable with it?"

"You can't say that. They rely on labor to make a living, and with my wages, they have to work for me."

The Xinyi Medicine Shop is actually very short of manpower. There are doctors in the medicine hall for consultation, so it can be easily turned over. But in the medicine factory behind, the processing of medicinal materials requires helpers, cleaning, cutting, cooking, and other processes. If they just rely on a few of them,

, it’s fine for a short time, but it’s going to be exhausting if it lasts a long time.

After learning from the Tan family's experience of sending undercover agents to the clinic, Xin Yi was very cautious in the field of medicinal materials and did not dare to recruit new people easily.

My husband's two sisters-in-law, looking at Wen Wen's quiet appearance, are also hard-working people with nimble hands and feet. Every time they come to eat, they rush to work. Xin Yi has been observing them for a long time and feels that it is most appropriate to find them.

…

Aunt Zhang laughed so hard that her mouth split open, and she called her daughter-in-law in a loud voice.

"Chunmei, Huiniang... come here quickly! Xinyi wants to take you to work."

The two young daughters-in-law were helping cook in the kitchen. When they heard their mother-in-law calling, they ran out quickly. Others heard her crying with joy and followed them.

So, Xin Yi recruited two more guys - Liang He, an elder brother and a younger brother of Xiang Ling.

There were six people in the family working in the drug store, and no one else would be willing to do it, but Xin Yi had a cheerful temperament and had been with Mr. Xiang Ling for so long. Seeing that they had no evil intentions, he readily made arrangements.

For dinner that day, we sat at two large round tables, and the whole family was very happy.

During the dinner, things about Zhang Zhengxiang’s family were mentioned again.

Ever since Mr. Liu died of illness, Zhang Zhengxiang has been like a kite that has lost its string. He is even more absurd than his son Zhang Silang.

They said that the old one brought the prostitutes from Hongqiao to his home, while the younger one wandered around the Fireworks Willow Lane all day long, each with his own way of playing. I am afraid that it won't be long before the little property left by Zhang Xun will be lost.

.

Poor Zhang Dalang and Dalang's wife, dragging two children with them, working exhaustingly all day long to support their family...

Xin Yi listened and didn't say much.

Xiang Ling suddenly said: "Last time I went back to the village, I met my sister-in-law. My sister-in-law asked me if I wanted more people in the shop. I didn't dare to agree. I just said that the medicine shop had enough people..."

She glanced at Xin Yi, a little timidly.

Sister-in-law Gong is not a bad person, and she had no bad intentions towards Xin Yi at first, but Xin Yi didn't want to be associated with that family anymore, so she didn't dare to help her.

However, when Uncle Zhang and his family returned to the village that night, she took some wrapped rice dumplings, put them in a basket, stuffed a piece of silver into them, and handed them to her husband's hand.

"Don't say it was given by me, just say it was your own wish."

The beloved obeyed her words and agreed without asking anything.

It wasn't until the whole family left that the Xinyi Drug Store became completely quiet.

Xin Yi and Mrs. An carefully checked the doors and windows, then set up a small table on the large wooden platform facing the river on the second floor, put fruits, snacks, etc., and called people to come up and enjoy the cool air together.

Doctor Ge returned home. Zhou Daozi was an idle man who had already made the medicine shop his own. Xin Yi also specially arranged a quiet place for him in the side courtyard.

At first I called him, but he refused to come because there were only women on the second floor besides children.

Later, under Xin Yi's repeated invitations, the old man lowered his dignity and came up to admire the moon.

The cool breeze blows, the silver moon is like a hook, and a few wind lanterns are reflected in the river.

"...The clouds are breaking and the moon is coming, and the flowers are making shadows. Heavy curtains cover the lamps, and the wind is unstable. People are still at first. The path will be full of red when the sun sets tomorrow. What a beautiful view under the moon."

Zhou Daozi stroked his beard and sighed at the night, looked at the people on the wooden platform, and frowned.

"Why is there one missing?"

The three children were sitting on the floor, playing with the blocks that Xin Yi had asked the carpenter to cut for them. Hearing this, Er Nian raised his head and smiled.

"Mrs. Hu was frightened by the third sister and refused to come out."

"No." Sannian raised the corners of her lips, "Mrs. Hu said that she wants to support the baby in her belly and cannot move around at will."

Hu Man didn't come out for dinner tonight. It wasn't until everyone had left after the meal that she cautiously came out to eat a little.

Basically, her routine is no different from when she lived in the basement. She doesn't see anyone during the day and acts secretly for fear of being seen...

"Sigh." Zhou Daozi said, "Ms. Hu is a pitiful person."

Xin Yi said: "When she gives birth and sees her child, she will slowly get better."

Zhou Daozi nodded and asked her: "Those...skin care ointments made by Madam, are they specially prepared for Madam Hu? Or do they have any other uses?"

The term skin care was learned by Zhou Daozi from Xin Yi.

Xin Yi couldn't help but smile knowingly when he heard this.

"To make money."

"Make money?" Zhou Daozi raised his eyebrows, feeling that this little lady was really big-hearted.

Nowadays, Xinyi Drug Store is famous as Bianjing, and money is flowing in like running water. She still sells ointments. Zhou Daozi feels that she is not doing her job properly.

"I thought my wife was in the pharmaceutical research institute just to research medicine."

He almost didn't say directly that he wanted her to save Fu Jiuqu wholeheartedly.

Xin Yi knew the real reason why Zhou Daozi stayed in the medicine shop and smiled lightly.

"Take your time, our pharmaceutical research institute needs to be improved. These ointments are also medicines. They can accumulate pharmaceutical experience for us and make young ladies become delicate and beautiful. That is also a great achievement. Mr. Zhou said, yes

no?"

Zhou Daozi sighed softly.

Mrs. An, however, agreed very much. She touched her face and said, "After using the ointment from our own pharmacy, my face has become whiter and smoother. I feel much younger."

Xin Yi smiled and said, "You are not old at all."

Mrs. An smiled and suddenly stared straight at Xin Yi.

"I think the lady must be a fairy descended to earth."

Xin Yi said "Ah" and was stunned by what she said. Then he smiled and kept waving his hands.

"No, no, fairies have to go through tribulations when they come to earth. I just want to be smooth all the time. I don't want to go through tribulations, and I don't want to be a fairy."

Sannian stood up and said, "No, Mom is a fairy, and Mom is more beautiful than a fairy."

Er Nian said: "The third sister flatters me again. Have you ever seen a fairy? How do you know that a fairy is not as good-looking as your mother?"

San Nian: "I knew it. In the world, my mother is the most beautiful and the most beautiful."

Second thought: "What about you?"

San Nian was stunned for a moment, "I'm the second most beautiful."

Seeing the child being serious, Xin Yi burst out laughing.

The laughter on the wooden platform spread across the Wuzhang River, and merged with the laughter of silk and bamboo in the tiles of the restaurant next door, forming a dreamlike and prosperous night scene of Bianjing City...

Xin Yi was exhausted during the day, and slept extremely deeply at night, but what she had was nightmares. She was busy embroidering vanilla bags all night, and the needle pricked her fingers, and her hands were covered with blood...

The blood dripped and slowly stained the palms of his hands red.

When she woke up covered in sweat, she found that it was already dark.

"Madam! Madam, wake up quickly——"
